Fujifilm addresses global health challenges with its Total Screening Solution, which synchronizes with AI and IT systems to provide accurate and timely results for doctors and medical personnel.
Fujifilm’s comprehensive women's healthcare screening solutions are now unified under the brand INNOMUSE, inspired by “innovation” and “muse.” This includes the AMULET Innovality digital mammography system and the Arietta 850 DeepInsight digital ultrasound system. INNOMUSE encompasses advanced technologies designed to address various aspects of women's health, including breast imaging, obstetrics, gynecology, and bone health.
Currently, breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women. Fujifilm hopes its medical advancements and technology will enable all Thai women to easily access screening services. Early detection increases the chances of successful treatment and reduces mortality risk. The AMULET Innovality provides high-resolution imaging for accurate breast cancer detection, while the Arietta 850 DeepInsight, a premium diagnostic ultrasound system, delivers detailed diagnostics with excellent noise reduction, stable penetration, and high spatial resolution using DeepInsight technology. Both systems integrate AI to enhance diagnostic precision and efficiency.
The severity of the liver cancer situation in Thailand is highlighted by alarming statistics from the Thailand Cancer Registry by the National Cancer Institute, with over 140,000 new cases reported annually.1 Fujifilm’s total screening solution for liver cancer, led by the μTASWako i30, is a game-changer in hepatocellular carcinoma detection. This fully automated microfluidic-based immunoanalyzer solution tailored for HCC diagnosis is known for its exceptional efficiency and accuracy. Capable of delivering a blood result in just 9 minutes and processing up to 25 results per hour, the μTASWako i30 enhances the speed and reliability of liver cancer screenings. By providing precise and timely diagnostics, this technology supports doctors in making quicker and more accurate treatment decisions, significantly improving patient outcomes and revolutionizing the approach to liver cancer detection and management.
In the realm of colorectal cancer screening, Fujifilm ELUXEO 7000 system, featuring the BL-7000 and VP-7000 processors, combined with the AI-powered CADEYE technology, stands out as a pioneering solution. The ELUXEO 7000 system converts image signals from endoscopes, utilizing LCI and BLI technologies to detect and analyze signs of disease in the colon. When paired with CADEYE, this system identifies subtle disease markers that might be missed by the human eye, thus enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Fujifilm aims to promote widespread colonoscopy screening, especially for individuals aged 45 to 70 with positive FIT test (Fecal Immunochemical Test) results. This initiative will increase access to early detection and treatment, particularly in remote and densely populated areas, reducing colorectal cancer morbidity and mortality rates.
Fujifilm’s Total Screening Solution, showcased at the Thailand Wellness and Healthcare Expo 2024, exemplifies its mission to address global health challenges through innovation. By focusing on pioneering medical technologies and comprehensive screening solutions, Fujifilm continues to bring more smiles to the world, reaffirming its commitment to creating a healthier future for all.
